Blog needs.

Seth Godin states the following about blogging for CEOs:
"Blogs work when they are based on:

Candor
Urgency
Timeliness
Pithiness and
Controversy

(maybe Utility if you want six)."

If any of you are going to read this blog in the future I had better learn how to insert a link, because this is already failing to present content in the easiest possible manner. I often violate of the rules of maintaining a simplicity, ease of use, and consistency; something that can be challenging and successful in art, but not on the internet.

My sins so far:
-I learned how to make a link, but didn't take notes and no longer remember,
-I failed to define my intent at the beginning of the post, I'll be lucky if I buried it half way through. At this point I'll be lucky to mention it at all, and you won't notice it even if I do because the structure isn't putting it forth in the best way.
-This doesn't tell anyone anything new, nor does it give reasons to come back for the same again or something that is new.

Blogger has sinned too: The site includes a spell check which does not recognize the word 'blog'

In order to insert a link while creating a post, just highlight the word you want to be used as the link, then click the hyperlink button (thrid from the left on the top of the post box next to the 'b' and the 'i', it looks like a nintendo controler over a globe). A box will pop up asking for the address and you just cut and paste the address you want to link to. If you have any questions just put it up on Ask Emi. Hope this helps!
